City Hall Groundbreaking Hundreds of Palm Coast residents gathered October 29 to celebrate a historic moment – the groundbreaking for our new City Hall. Under gorgeous blue skies, the crowd looked out onto Central Park and Town Center, where stakes had been placed at the four corners of what will become the new building. The Mayor and City Council joined with others for the ceremonial tossing of the dirt with gold shovels. Mayor Jon Netts called it an “epic moment” for Palm Coast. “Our new City Hall will become our own symbol of friendship and diversity, connecting public servants to Palm Coast as the community that we love, the place where we’ve always counted on each other in very special ways,” he said. Construction will start soon!

that this is what may have happened. Please help us bring Rocco home.

City of Palm Coast to celebrate opening of Long Creek Nature Preserve Palm Coast – The City of Palm Coast will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of Long Creek Nature Preserve at 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3. The public is encouraged to attend. Long Creek Nature Preserve is located at 1050 Palm Harbor Parkway. The event will include remarks by Mayor Jon Netts, Flagler County Attorney Al Hadeed and others, and a celebratory ribbon-cutting. Light refreshments will be served. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the new park. Phase 1 of the project included construction of a path and boardwalk to new canoe/kayak launches into Long Creek and College Waterway, installation of shoreline stabilization along College Waterway, construction of a fishing pier along College Waterway with floating dock for boat mooring, and an entrance to the site with a parking area. The $1.46 million project was being funded by the City of Palm Coast and the Florida Inland Navigation District. The contractor was Saboungi Construction Inc. The Long Creek Nature Preserve is about nine acres in size, connected to the 225-acre Long Creek Basin. The nature preserve property was purchased in 2008 with grants from Florida Community Trust and the Flagler County Environmentally Sensitive Lands Program. The Long Creek Basin property was donated to the City. Located between neighborhoods that border Long Creek and Big Mulberry Branch Creek natural corridors, the new nature preserve provides access to the City’s saltwater canal system, and eventually facilitate access to the Pellicer Creek Aquatic Preserve and other regional attractions. Its natural beauty will be a living laboratory for environmental education programs, including for the Children Helping in Resource Protection – or CHIRP – program, offered by the City of Palm Coast for Flagler schoolchildren. A major archeological resource, the Hernandez Landing Site, relates to the early 1800s Plantation Period in Florida and is located just east of the project site on City-owned property. This resource is slated for enhancements in a later phase of the project, and its interpretation will convey the history of the landing site and its importance in regional and statewide history. The City also plans to build an Environmental Education Center at the preserve in the future.
